Hawker Siddeley GR.3/AV.8A

No where near as crisp as when I first made one in 1975, however a trip down memory lane and it's coming together as a virtually OOB build. Main decals on, glazing and weapons next.

What's this kit actually like?? I want to build mine with the gear and the canopy working

John Irwing Forfatter
Canopy is very basic but can be moveable, age of the moulds has adversely affected the undercarriage. My first issue kit I made in the 1970's I got all the U/C to be retractable, even the outriggers, this one I couldn't. However in order for the nosewheel to retract it has to be able to fully fold which means it sits incorrectly when on its wheels, unless you can make some form of locking mechanism or small wedge that can be used to prevent it collapsing.

Oohhhh sounds like a interesting challenge!!!!!
